It is the size of a small table, the height is just right for fish cleaning. The table can be folded neatly and stashed away when not needed. I used quick connect for the garden hose, and it can be snapped in a second for water source. The chopping board is built in. I'll be able to clean all my catch of the day outside in the garden without making a mess in our kitchen. Most of all, the water that I use to clean the fish can be used to water my plants and it is also excellent fertilizer. Waste nothing. Water is reused drought or no drought.  The solid parts, I bury them at least 6" deep around the base of the fruit trees within the driplines. Gives them micronutrients and become productive.

The downside, it set me back $80, delivery included.

One of my friends has one and his faucet was real cheap and broke on first use.  Worked good otherwise.   I would screw down or apoxy one of the claw clamps so fish tails could be clamped in while cleaning.  Table gets a little slippery.

Am quite handy with plumbing and irrigation, so the cheapo facucet is not a concern for me.  I might replace it with a much better taller faucet with flexible extended tubing that is better than the garden hose itself, or will simply create a place holder to hang the garden hose that has various nozzles.

When table gets slippery, I can always place a real wood chopping board on top of it.  So far, it is not slippery enough to be a concern.  Am really after the water drippings which is loaded with "nutrients". I used to bail out the water from our kitchen faucet so that I can fertilize some of my plants. Very good to water the citrus plants with this waste water.

I almost bought one of those for camping. It was on sale @ Cabelas for $60 and seemed like a good deal. Only reason I didn't pull the trigger is because I have a custom FishMaster1 cleaning station at home. :-)

i saw those at BPS in their last sale, can't remember how much it was.  i simply use a folding table of the same size and my garden hose with sprayer set to shower.  works for me.  just wished it was a bit taller.  i try and clean all my fish outside, if possible.

I do the same thing, Ryan. The cleaning process goes even faster when friends show up to clean any fish gifted to them  :smt003 and maybe even clean someof mine while they're at it. **Thanks ChuckE and Sailfish**
